Join ACT Bilingual Education Alliance for a Celebration of Lanuguages on Saturday 16 October 2021, from 10:30 am. Image: ACTBEA.

A day to celebrate and find out more about some of the many languages spoken, heard and seen in the ACT and the range of people who speak and/or work with them.

After the opening session, six different panels featuring over 20 presenters will share their perspectives on our multilingual city. Have you ever wondered what a career interpreting and translating entails? Maybe you’ve encountered poems and scripts written in other languages and wanted to create your own. Or would you just like to know more about our Indigenous languages and languages that have come from Europe and Asia?

You can choose to attend one session or make a day of it. For more information about the program and to register, visit Eventbrite. Organised by the ACT Bilingual Education Alliance with support from CMCF (Canberra Multicultural Community Forum Inc) and an ACT Government Participation (Multicultural) Grant 2021.
